Evening chaps
Its been a busy week and I actually found some hobby time, that is an odd occurrence for me!
Yes Rick, the VW is in for a real treat of multicoloured panelling and the effects of multiple demon attacks too.
Neil, Tim, sculpting is certainly a "black art" but its quite good fun at the moment, just making clothes
Dolls house stuff is certainly useful Peter, I have some fun things to use in the VW, when it gets onto the bench.
Thanks for popping by Jim and everyone, A little bit more.
I have been using white milliput which can be rolled so thin, its like paper, but by using baby talc to get it so thin, it also becomes a little difficult to stick to the parts of the body, the clothes are meant to fit.
So, it gets a little water, and lots of patient pushing and smoothing, and once its dry lots of 180/240 grit sanding too.
So, Karrin has a shoulder rig, gun and all the usual Police detective kit.
The blown up photos are quite critical, but I am reasonably happy with my first attempt at clothing.
The pewter is too thick for the belts and straps, so I used the thick foil seals from Millicano coffee tins.
And the work so far, be gentle LOL

The arms have sleeves but will need a good sand and foil cuffs.
The chest has been sanded as far as I dare!
She was a ""Pin Up"" figure and rather buxom for the character, I might try and sand some more off after priming, if it doesn't look too bad where the milliput shirt has been removed.
Hopefully some work on her hair soon, but I think it will need to be stickier, as I couldn't get the milliput to stick using up the pieces I had rolled out but covered in talc.
We shall see, but it is good fun and really interesting for a new part of the hobby.
More soon?
Thanks for popping by
